Re: my 65 fleetside build

Nice work on the bedside, flips. I built my SB out of a '66 and a '62. Hours upon hours to get it even somewhat nice.

What size is your steering wheel? I love the look of those but dont know if I could yank around my manual steer '66.

Re: my 65 fleetside build

Just remember that the short bed wheel openings are smaller than the longbed wheel openings.

Re: my 65 fleetside build

i sure didnt know that, i just took it for granted they were the same in the wheel well opening area i figured it was twelve inches longer in the front and eight in the rear, never even considered the wheel well, cant seem to catch a break when it comes to this bed side. thats what is so good about this forum, there is a whole lot of knowledge here. thanks capt.fab you probably just saved me a lot of time and work.
